DIY Gumball Machine
My first post! I’m excited to be a contributing to Pretty Pink Posh! Thank you everyone for such nice comments and the warm welcome.
In this post I’ll be showing you a step by step tutorial on how to create your own gumball machine. Since Valentine’s Day is coming soon, there are many cute candies you could fill this with.
Supplies needed: Paint, round glass vase, flower pot, flower pot saucer, flat marble, foam brush, and a hot glue gun
Step 1: Paint the flower pot, the flower pot saucer and the marble. Dry.
Step 2: Flip the flower pot upside down and (using the hot glue gun) place four dots on equal sides of the pot. Immediately place the vase on top of the hot glue and press down.
Step 3: Place the saucer on top of the vase to cover the opening. Use the hot glue gun to place a dot onto the center of the saucer and immediately put the marble on top. Dry.
Step 4: Place candies or gumdrops inside and show it off to your friends. Then enjoy!
I can’t wait to hear what you think of this idea and if you try it out! I have lots of ideas that I am looking forward to bringing to the blog, I hope you will continue to visit!

This is an awesome idea! Love it..
This is such an awesome project! Would make a great teacher gift. Gonna have to save the email for Spring Break and hopefully my daughter can help make this for her teacher by doing the painting part. TFS!
It is surprisingly easy. I always loved gumballs when I was little. This is a great way to reminisce my childhood days and pass it on to my child. Thanks a lot for the post. :)
On my to do list with kids. They will be super excited. TFS.
